Worried about regaining weight? Here’s the reassurance you need

Losing weight comes with its own rewards and complications, one of which is weight gain. At PrivateDoc, we take a holistic approach to weight loss, managing all aspects of your journey, including your wellbeing and weight loss maintenance.

It’s normal to feel concerned about regaining weight, especially after putting in so much hard work. The truth is, weight management is a lifelong journey, and our bodies are naturally inclined to resist weight loss. This isn't a sign of failure or a lack of willpower; it’s a biological reality. The good news is that with the right support, you can successfully maintain your new healthy weight.

The science of weight regain

When you lose weight, your body undergoes several changes that can make it easier to regain those pounds. Hormones that regulate appetite, like ghrelin, can increase, making you feel hungrier. At the same time, your metabolism can slow down as your body needs fewer calories to function at a lower weight.

Medications like Mounjaro and Wegovy help to counteract these biological signals, but once they are stopped, the natural urges to eat more and burn fewer calories can return. This is why a programme that focuses on lifestyle changes is so crucial.

Our approach

Our weight loss programme is designed not just to help you lose weight, but to equip you with the tools and support to keep it off. We understand that medication is a powerful catalyst, but sustainable success comes from building new, healthy habits. Our UK-registered clinicians are here to guide you through this process with personalised care.

Our clinicians put you at the centre of the conversation. This means they provide safe, effective advice and create tailored treatment plans that take all your unique circumstances into account.

Our weight loss service offers comprehensive individualised support, including:

  • Personalised clinical oversight from UK-registered clinicians. Our experienced doctors understand the specific needs and regulations for weight management and are here to provide tailored advice for maintaining your weight.
  • Regular virtual check-ins and progress monitoring. We keep track of your journey and adjust your plan as needed. A small amount of weight fluctuation is normal, and we're here to help you make sensible adjustments if you notice your weight increasing.
  • Access to our patient app for tracking and communication. Conveniently monitor your progress and communicate with our team, making it easier to stay accountable and consistent with your goals.
  • Educational resources on nutrition, lifestyle, and exercise. We empower you with knowledge for sustainable results, providing guidance on balanced nutrition, portion control, and finding a physical activity routine you love.
  • Dedicated customer support for all your queries. Help is always just a message or call away. We're here to offer encouragement and answer any questions you have about long-term weight management.
  • Flexible medication adjustments based on your progress. We ensure your treatment plan evolves with you and can even help you create a plan to transition off medication when the time is right, without losing the habits you've built.

Weight maintenance: A proactive approach

After you've reached your weight loss goals, our support continues. We encourage a proactive approach to maintenance, focusing on:

  • Mindful eating: Pay attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues.
  • Consistent physical activity: The NHS recommends 150 minutes of moderate activity per week, but even small increases in daily movement can make a big difference.
  • Lifestyle habits: Prioritise good sleep and stress management, as both can impact your appetite and weight.

Regaining weight is not a sign of failure. It’s a common challenge that can be overcome with the right tools and continuous support. Our commitment is to your long-term health and wellbeing, and our team of clinicians is here to ensure you have everything you need for lasting success.
